The Coalition for Music Education created Music Monday to:
- celebrate the importance of music in our lives and especially in our schools, and
- celebrate the galvanizing power of music and demonstrate how that power is rooted in school music programs.
Music education is a powerful tool for engagement, harmony, creativity and achievement in our young people. Music Monday is a tangible demonstration of how music programs unite us, shape young lives and contribute to the cultural vitality of Canada.
